That's actaully why Nation of Islam gained a following, a rejection of the "white man's" religion (Christianity) in favor of a more Native African religion (Islam). Though it's really more of a political movement than a religious one (I get the feeling a bunch of them don't actually legitametly believe in Islam) They’re not real Muslims. Most of them don’t know any Arabic, have only a rudimentary understanding of the Quran, and know little about the Prophet Muhammad and his history. I have a black friend named Malik who grew up in Chicago NOI. My white friend who actually lived in Egypt for years and spoke fluent Arabic tried to have a conversation with him about the Holy Quran in Arabic, and Malik didn’t know what he was saying. Even when Mike switched to English, Malik was clueless about Middle Eastern history or the teachings of the Prophet. He said he didn’t grow up learning that stuff, only about how the white devil has oppressed African Americans and forced the white religion onto them. So while I agree that the white man ultimately forced black Americans into false religion (Christianity), NOI is nothing more than a racist black cult with the name “Islam” in the title. About the only thing that makes them Muslim is their attire and the fact that they don’t eat pork. But many of them drink, curse, and do all sorts of things prohibited by the Quran. Real Muslims from the Middle East and Northern Africa would not consider them “Muslim” at all. When you study the various denominations, sects, cults of major religions, you will notice the more they splinter off, and the further away from when the particular religion was founded, they tend to stray, way off from the original doctrines & practices of the original denomination of the particular religion. |
